Sushi 101

We love eating raw fish!

Over the past year and a half I have become a sushi person. I never thought I would like it, never.

But as Ty started to like it more and more and he started to get invites from friends to go to sushi, I decided maybe I should give it a shot. I'd hate to be left out from all the fun.

So I had Ty take me to the Happy Sumo in Provo UT. Where he ordered me some of the more "mellow" sushi. I shoved it down my throat, trying to get the squishiness down as quickly as possible. I made it through the meal and I was pretty proud of myself, but not further then the parking lot my stomach churned and I felt sick.

**I had raw fish and little orange fish eggs in my stomach!**

"Mind over matter...Mind over matter...Mind over matter" I kept repeating.

Soon enough I felt better. So we went again a few weeks later, this time I enjoyed the taste a bit more, AND I didn't get too sick afterwards. Then the next time I actually enjoyed the food and felt great afterwards. Now I love and crave sushi!

We found a really good little sushi place here in Charlotte. It is called Sushi 101-- here are a few pictures from our sushi adventure last night.

Anyone who is scared to try sushi, should give it a fair shot, because it really is good.
